Crowdfunding

Certificate in Crowdfunding

Crowdfunding refers to the practice of funding a project or venture by raising small amounts of money from a large number of people, typically via the internet or social media platforms. It allows entrepreneurs, artists, and organizations to solicit contributions or investments from a diverse group of individuals, often in exchange for rewards, equity, or interest in the project.
